In my last post, I mentioned the joy of being able to help people. I’d like to ask you to help someone dear to me and important to everyone in the web community.

Molly Holzschlag, who has affected all of us in ways both incredible and subtle, a pioneer not just of the web but also of fighting to make it accessible and available to everyone, is facing a life-threatening medical condition, and along with that a solvency-threatening financial situation. In addition to the high cost of her treatment, she is unable to work during the course of that treatment, which will be many months long. So in addition to needing to cover the costs of her medical insurance and any uninsured medical care, she also needs to be able to pay for housing and food and all the stuff that goes along with living.

That’s where we, you and me, come into the picture. You can read about the details on the GoFundMe page set up to assist her by Brian Keith Sullivan, but the upshot is this: Molly needs the support and love of the community she has supported and loved for so many years. Please do what you can to help her out. Thank you.
